The fluorescent lights overhead buzz and flicker as the train grinds to a halt against the platform. A tinny announcement crackles: "Arriving at Shibuya Station." The doors slide apart, and a tide of bodies pours out, carrying you, you, along with it until you break free onto the sidewalk.

Your new home is waiting, silent and unfamiliar. Maybe you'll settle in. Or maybe that prickle on your neck is a warning. Isn't it?
